Once Saved Always Saved



Once Saved Aways Saved
Author: Mark V. Markov

Once saved always saved
What does that mean?
It's just an expression
That spiritually makes no sense.

For those who live their life on earth
The question becomes
What is the next step after that expression?
Since while a believer lives on this earth
He or she needs to have obedience
To Jesus Christ our Lord,
And to His instruction.

When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord
You need to live in His teaching
You are not officially saved
Until you pass away and get into heaven
To be with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior

So while you live on this earth
You must live in obedience to Him
You can't just say
Once saved I'm always saved
And live in disobedience to Him

If He said to one church to perfect their love
And to another
To perfect their works.
And if they will not
Then they will not make it into heaven

We as His followers
Need to trust Him
And use that instruction as a reference
For us
So His statement explains
That once saved always saved
Is just an expression
So don't just believe in an expression
But believe in Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior

Of course if you believed in Jesus Christ
Just before you passed away
Then like the thief in the cross
You will. make it to heaven and be officially saved
Or if you see Him coming from heaven
And call on His name
He will save you

Yet if you live your life on earth
There is more to it
Then just a once saved always saved  expression.
There is a next step
Since after you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior
He said to get baptized
And to keep the commandments
We need to get baptized
Because He said it to all that believe,
After He rose from the dead,
And gave us grace.

We need to live a life
Always trying our best
In keeping the commandments.
For when we do that
We are showing with action
That we love Jesus Cheist and God the Father.

As we live our life
Always in obedience to Jesus Christ
Living in His teaching
Being faithful to Him till the end
When the time will come to pass away
We will make into heaven
Because we lived in obedience to Him
Because we lived by His instruction
And only then we will become officially saved...
